@ititrx332gxi9s: "Although I have searched the web for an answer and there is one here at
this site.  I still get the error.
odbc sqlinstallmanager failed
The error pops up, you click ok and the acsetup continuew on its merry
way, but at the end you get the error again and the install does not
complete.
You cannot run any updates because it cannot find VS.  But you have
everything installed, kinda, if you look.  Some dlls are missing when
you try to execute from the file directly.  And you have nothing in
your programs menu in start menu menu.
Tracing didnt trace from odbc.  I found one error under process, that
said the register was closed while another task was using it,
presumming that happened after the error message was clicked ok.  So I
tried not clicking ok, but the setup waits so that didnt work.
I really really want to use the vs, now and I dont want to install vs
net.  
my system is xp, and it shows the 2005 .net on it.  I have installed
the sql native client and that didnt work either.
If I could just fix the register with the proper pointers would it
work?  Where can I get the proper info for the register?
Can I install the whole thing manually?
Thanks for any help.

    @ititrx332gzcy1: "While investigating this error I find it is produced by the acmesetup
file itself, from the acmesetup.lst file.  The error there is 
if RemoveDm then odbc .......error.
So I dont know how to fix it.  I did a web search and only three
instancs showed, all pointing to the same file above for download.
One is listed under foxpro, so wih foxpros new odbc driver perhaps this
is the problem, but in Odbc I am not allowed to delete those drivers and
install the old drivers.  
I also can find no way to delete foxpro under add/delete programs.
So Im dead in the water...............
